Steelers vs. Ravens: Winners and losers from narrow Week 13 win

Steelers loser: Najee Harris

While some will look at Najee Harris and say he had a decent day with over 100 total yards, his play wasn’t anything special. He didn’t find much space running the ball until late in the game and was just ok as a receiver. It wasn’t anything special for the rookie, especially when you consider what the expectations were for Harris.

Being drafted in the first round leads to a lot of expectations for the rookie. While he is a complete back, he hasn’t been dynamic as a player yet. The team can’t consistently count on him to be the guy and have the offense move through him yet. Sure, the line hasn’t been great for him, but if the line was such an issue why wasn’t that the target in the first round instead of Harris.

While his final stat line looks fine, it wasn’t a great game for the rookie. The Steelers clearly wanted their offense to run through the rookie, but they couldn’t rely on him enough to do so. He wasn’t horrible, but expectations should be higher for Harris. Overall, a mediocre day leads to him being on the losers list.
